Bombay Bicycle Club: 'We're Glad Liam Gallagher Insulted Us'

Band thank the former Oasis man...

Bombay Bicycle Club have said it was “a good thing” that Liam Gallagher criticised them.

In March, the former Oasis star slammed the band, and took specific aim at their name.

However, in an interview with XFM, singer Jack Steadman said they were unfazed by Gallagher’s remarks.

“We were thinking about changing the name of our band before he said those things,” he said.

“It was a quick solution. We didn’t think we’d ever have to worry about it or defend it – we were playing a gig and we just needed a name.”

Steadman said that the insult also proved that Gallagher had noticed the group.

“It’s a good thing to be insulted by Liam Gallagher. We’ve made it now,” he said.

“We’re on his radar. He doesn’t say anything nice about bands. It’s good to get a mention.”

Bombay Bicycle Club are set to release a new acoustic album, entitled 'Flaws', on July 12.

Noel Gallagher Has A Pop At Annie Lennox At Ivor Awards

Lord Noel Gallagher was on reliably mickey-taking form at the Ivors as he had a sly pop at Annie Lennox.

Eurythmics legend Annie presented Brit singer Imogen Heap with the International Achievement award.

And Annie used her time on the podium to say what a hard time female artists have in the male-dominated music industry. She said the most patronising question she was ever asked was about what it was like to be a woman in the rock world.

Later, former Oasis axeman Noel could not resist a dig at Annie as he presented Paul Weller with the Lifetime Achievement award.

He declared: "I am a man. A man in rock. People ask what it's like to be a man in rock and I say, 'It's aaaalllright'."

On This Day In Oasis History...

On May 21st 2001, Noel Gallagher was interviewed in Toronto, Canada for 'Much Music'.

The band were in North America for 'The Tour of Brotherly Love' featuring Oasis, The Black Crowes, and Spacehog. The three rock bands featured pairs of brothers: Noel and Liam Gallagher, Chris and Rich Robinson, Royston and Antony Langdon. The tour's title is a nod to the fact that all three pairs of brothers have been known to fight, sometimes physically, sometimes even publicly.

Originally scheduled for 21 dates across the United States and Canada, the three bands performed to capacity crowds in medium-sized arenas and concert halls, including a three-night stand at Radio City Music Hall in New York.

Noel Gallagher and Gem Archer of Oasis and the Langdon brothers of Spacehog joined The Black Crowes on stage at the end of most shows on the tour, performing covers of songs by Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie, Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones. Oasis drummer Alan White missed the tour with a thumb injury and was replaced by older brother Steve White.

Also broadcast on this day was 'MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch', click here to watch the fight.

Liam Gallagher Tops Up His Tan In Cannes With Wife Nicole

Here's Liam Gallagher enjoying the sunshiiiine in Cannes.

The Oasis frontman was topping up his tan alongside wife Nicole onboard a flash yacht.

It's been a while since we've seen Liam minus his Parka and leopard-print loathers.

But he manages to pull off these chequered shorts.

Well, I never had him down as a Speedos man.

Crumbs, It’s ... Noel Gallagher

Here's Bizarre lord Noel Gallagher as you have never seen him before - in a picture made from breadcrumbs.

Artist Lennie Payne came up with the technique after earning cult status for doing portraits by blow-torching toast.

Lennie has used the breadcrumb technique for portraits of Ian Brown and Howard Marks as part of a new deal with donnelly24.com, who are hosting an exhibition tomorrow at the Maverik Showroom in London's Shoreditch.

Liam Gallagher: The Movie Mogul

Liam Gallagher jets into Cannes in his new guise as a movie mogul. He's got the smoky shades and the Superfly gait. His leather coat is buttoned to the throat and he lopes across the beachfront terrace wearing a pair of fluffy, leopard-print loafers he might have plucked from a pensioner's feet. The press aren't sure what to make of him. "He's become a caricature," one whispers to me. "He should be in a Mike Leigh film."

It's unlikely Gallagher will act in a Mike Leigh film – he says his favourite recent movie is Avatar. Instead, the Oasis frontman has teamed up with Revolution Films to adapt The Longest Cocktail Party, the 1972 memoir by Richard Di Lello, an American teen who became the "house hippie" at Apple records; the story views the Beatles' break-up from the wings. "The Beatles aren't going to be in this film," cautions Gallagher. "There's gonna be no one auditioning for John, Paul, George and Ringo. And there'll be no wigs." I see a foreign journalist duly note this down: no wigs.

Apple, explains producer Andrew Eaton, was ahead of its time: a multimedia enterprise that branched into film, fashion and retail, before collapsing at the start of the 1970s. "But I like that," Gallagher says. "I like the failure, the sadness of something being so great. It's life – shit happens. You've got to pick the good bits and mix them with the sad bits, or the horrendous bits."

This project, he adds, is a one-off. The film business is just like the music business, full of people talking bullshit: he can't be taking it from two sides at once. "I'm doing this one thing and then that's it, I'm back on the dole. I'm not gonna be doing films about whales or unkempt eyebrows."

The reporter drags me aside. "Did he say whales or Wales?" he asks, notebook at the ready. It could conceivably be either. The singer has gone and he leaves us with a mystery. Whales or Wales? We stare blankly out to sea, pondering the profound implications of the film Liam Gallagher will never make.

Liam Gallagher's New Band To Write The Soundtrack For His Apple Records Movie

Former Oasis singer plans to recreate the sounds of the era for the flick.

Liam Gallagher's new band are set to write the soundtrack for his film about The Beatles' Apple Corps label.

Speaking about the recently announced project at Cannes film festival, Gallagher told The Guardian that he's chosen not to use original Beatles music in the motion picture.

"[We could use The Beatles] if we want it," he explained, "But we're gonna do it – my new band's going to do the soundtrack. We can recreate that sound like that, you know what I mean? I think it will be more exciting if you have a sound that reminds you of that era, instead of the obvious, going, 'Oh, there's 'Let It Be''."

Gallagher reiterated that the film, an adaptation of the memoirs of Apple employee Richard DiLello, "ain't just about The Beatles", adding, "That's what we've gotta get across – it's about Apple Records."

He also confirmed that he is not planning on working on any other film projects, saying: "I'm doing this one thing and that is it, I'm back on the dole."

Gallagher's new band, made up of his former Oasis bandmates Andy Bell, Gem Archer and Chris Sharrock, are yet to announce their name or release any music, though the singer has predicted that they will make their debut this October.

Liam Gallagher: I'm Not Going Into Films

Liam Gallagher has said the film he was producing about the Beatles' Apple Corps would not herald the start of a movie-making career.

The former Oasis singer's new production company, In 1, is set to make a biopic based on Richard DiLello's memoir The Longest Cocktail Party, which charts the "wild rise and fall" of the record company at the end of the 1960s.

But, speaking in Cannes alongside Andrew Eaton of Revolution Films, who will collaborate on the project, Liam said: "I'm not going into films, this is the last thing for me. I mean I'm not going to get sucked into that. I'm going to do this one thing because I like it, and I've got the opportunity to do it, and Andrew's going to make it happen, and that's it."

DiLello worked as the resident "House Hippie" at Apple, which signed artists such as James Taylor, Mary Hopkin and Badfinger, from 1968 to 1970.

Eaton said: "It was a brilliant time, there were a great bunch of people working around the Beatles, and inspired by the Beatles, they were working in one office all together.

"They kind of changed the world, because they were doing multi-media stuff, they were doing films, they were doing records, years before everyone else was - so we want to capture some of that."

Liam said the memoir had held "biblical" meaning for his former Oasis bandmates.

And asked if he was likely to put in an appearance on screen, Liam joked: "I'm too good looking."
